Virus warning

[I Am Right]

I just read on ouinsider.com that if you log on to soonerfans you will get a virus. Hummmmmm, haven't got one yet

[Salt City Sooner]

I got drilled this morning when I came here, but my Essentials caught it.

[Sooner04]

I too was hit this morning with a virus from this site, but AVG caught it.

[fwsooner22]

Me too

[OU-HSV]

THis was happening a few weeks ago. We actually have some threads on here about it. Here's one thread we had going on about it....plus there was at least one other thread in the SO.

The ChiComs are probably trying to hack in and steal our secrets...Plus they don't like the conservative discussions on this board as it will undermine their attempt to overtake our country with Obama's and the progressives efforts to derail Capitalism...;)

can somebody fix the Sooner Legends thread.

"title too long" thing

[AlbqSooner]

If you poke around in SF.com you prolly will get a virus. Penicillin may not cure it either.

[OU_Sooners75]

Considering this forum software has not been updated in a long time...I would not be at all surprised if it were insecure here.

Phil, update vBulletin. ;)

when you reply, select advanced and that will let you make the title shorter


I also just got an alert. I have ads off, but it might be coming through that service.

[SunnySooner]

I got the earlier thing, I got nuthin this time.

This is why I broke down and went and bought a mac this past weekend. Needless to say I got no virus... One of the reasons for my purchase. Macs do not get viruses!

[StoopTroup]

You know how I know Macs are ghey? They're named after a dude.

Whomever told you that is a bull****ter.

They get viruses...just not as numerous as the most popular OS (windows).

This is correct. It's not that they're SUPER SECURE, it's just that, if you think about it, if you were creating a virus, which would you choose to build code for:

1) (Win) Most of the market, with common knowledge of its intricate workings, or

2) (Mac) A Small piece of the market, and a harder code to tap into

while unix is, by its nature, more secure than the windows platform, if hackers really wanted to, there would be just as many mac viruses.

And don't think I'm a Mac hater, I'm writing this from my Macbook Pro.

[oudavid1]

This is why I broke down and went and bought a mac this past weekend. Needless to say I got no virus... One of the reasons for my purchase. Macs do not get viruses!

This is a very untrue statement, considering that 90% of the world uses some form of windows and only 6% use any form of Mac its uncommon for hackers to want information off of Macs so Apple had no built in OSFW. And since most Mac owners think their Mac won't get a virus they have no virus protection with in turn means no anti-theft protection and heavily contributes to that statistic that if you have a Mac that your credit card is 3 times more likely to be stolen than someone with a PC with virus protection.

That's why I'm getting rid of my Mac, it also freezes up to much! I would advise you take that computer for a refund and then you can buy 2 PCs.

[gaylordfan1]

Wow, seems I have touched a nerve with some. Ok, sorry. Macs get FEWER viruses than PC's.

[MamaMia]

Nothing a Z pack wont cure.

[StoopTroup]

Nothing a Z pack wont cure.

For most people. The last time I got a sinus infection they ended up backing it up with 10 days of amoxicillin too. It's scary to think that a Z pack used to knock it out no problem. I hope the Drug Companies continue to develop products that keep up with these new agressive flu that comes our way.

[gaylordfan1]

Tamiflu is really the only thing that can help with the flu bc the flu is a virus. Now predicting the flu stain and manufacturing a flu shot that is affective against building antibodies is what is so hard for these scientists/drug companies. This all has to be done before the flu hits the USA, so about a year in advance.

[StoopTroup]

My understanding is that they tend not to give you Tamaflu unless they have tried everything else. Also wasn't Cipro one of the ones on the ''Oh **** He's Gonna Die!'' list?

[soonerboomer93]

This is why I broke down and went and bought a mac this past weekend. Needless to say I got no virus... One of the reasons for my purchase. Macs do not get viruses!

technically true, although mac recommend using AV

however, techincally, the warning on the site was for a trojan, which is not a virus but a different type of malware and which macs can become infected with

[gaylordfan1]

They prescribe Tamiflu for the flu only if you present with flu-like symptoms within 24 hours of its onset. They say it has some pretty bad side effects and some opt not to take it for that simple fact, although I haven't seen them personally. And Cipro is a very common antibiotic used everyday for many bacterial infections. You might be thinking of the anthrax scare... Its the drug everyone was stockpiling.

[AzianSooner]

I got one last night when logged into this site and Advil kills it

Keep believing this!

[gaylordfan1]

:rolleyes: I retracted my statement... FEWER... much fewer viruses. All I know is with my PC I was getting all kinds of malware/trojans detected on avg and my other antiviruses. I was very diligent on keeping everything up to date and ran scans regularly. The viruses on this site a couple of weeks ago slammed my computer... even put a google redirect virus that was a bi*ch to get rid of. I use my computer for finances and web browsing mostly. My computer was also 10 years old so I decided to upgrade. I have heard nothing but great things about mac and their products. My iphone is about as user friendly as you can get. The imac is the same. I'm not trying to praise mac's or anything, it was just a good fit for me.

[StoopTroup]

I think my PC is allergic to amoxicillin.

[freshchris05]

my mac is going on 6 years, only problem i've had is with the damn faulty *** power cords.

quit going to porn sites

[Phil]

I've gotten no indication of any problems since we killed whatever was on here a few weeks ago.

[Jacie]

My blocking software pegs this one everytime I click anywhere on this site:

Illredir-S [Trj]

This has been going on for two days now.

[Salt City Sooner]

Just got hit again, & essentials said it cleaned it up again.

[Phil]

Hmmm. I'm gonna have to upgrade the board to stop this or something.

[gaylordfan1]

quit going to porn sites

why would anyone in their right mind want to do that? :D

Seriously, thats a non factor for me. I have had viruses isolated by my system on everyday sites.

[gaylordfan1]

PG rated sites that is. This being one of them.

[StoopTroup]

LEAVE GONZO ALONE ! ! !

;)

[gaylordfan1]

Man I love this site.

[Indo Sooner]

I also have gotten virus messages from Avast Antivirus the last three or four times I've come to the site. The message I get is as follows: Sign of "JS:Illredir-R[Trj]" has been found in "http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=362" file.

[olevetonahill]

The only Prob I have had is that warning deal a few weeks ago. I went around it till I got tired of doing that . Phil fixed it and Ive not had a prob since.

[King Crimson]

i haven't had any prob since that thing a few weeks ago. AVG scans fine. however, someone tried to buy a plane ticket and 500$ worth of stuff at the Apple on-line store with one of my credit card #'s last week.

so, what do i know?

[MiccoMacey]

I've gotten no indication of any problems since we killed whatever was on here a few weeks ago. All your problems are solved. Your computer is safe here. Come back to soonerfans. All your base are belong to us.

Sincerely,

Fixed it for you. ;)

[bluedogok]

Same here and I am running the full AVG Internet Security Suite (paid version).

[Scott D]

Hmmm. I'm gonna have to upgrade the board to stop this or something.

I think this is probably the only real option. The most current version of the software is 4.0.2 and we're still on 3.6.2 over here.

[Scott D]

I'm not getting any actual problems, just a little warning box that pops up when it loads the main page initially.

Malicious url: htp://4ura.us/in.cgi?8

It could just as easily be flash based I guess via a potential hole with the arcade stuff.

[Salt City Sooner]

Got hit (& cleaned) again just now.

I don't ever go into the arcade, and Flash has known software exploits, the sooner the internet is rid of that the better off it will be.

[I Am Right]

Microsoft Security Essentials- Free and, oh well never mind.

[Salt City Sooner]

FWIW, this seems to be a "first time I visit the site today" occurence. I've been here twice since I last posted on this thread & nothing has happened. It's also been this way previously.

[Jacie]

I also have gotten virus messages from Avast Antivirus the last three or four times I've come to the site. The message I get is as follows: Sign of "JS:Illredir-R[Trj]" has been found in "http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js?v=362" file.

I use Avast as well and what you posted is what pops up with every click on this site. The wifey, who is as savvy about this stuff as anyone short of a paid professional, thinks the people who aren't getting any warnings probably have insufficient virus-detecting software.

probably, most people don't update the software that comes with their store purchased computers, and definitely don't renew when the 1 year license is up.

[I Am Right]

Now that is just crazy

I now use BitDefender total security (paid version)...It is fully updated (as of yesterday) and checks for updates every day.

I used to use AVG free and that is when I got that message a few weeks ago.

Different AV progs have different definitions for their programs. Some are slower at getting current threats than others.
BitDefender is rated as one of the best AV software out today...and nothing has came across as dangerous on this site.

[SoonerGirl97]

I'm getting a message now from Kaspersky. Looks to be a sort of malware? This is a different issue than the virus a couple weeks ago. That one blocked me out completely.

[oudavid1]

Norton 360 suckas

[Sooner04]

Another virus attempt this morning from SF.com. AVG once again picked it up.

[gaylordfan1]

We have now entered the TWILIGHT ZONE!!!!!!!!!

[Phil]

WTF?!?! I am waiting to hear back from the server people about this from two days ago. Fear not - this will be cleaned up and further steps will be taken to make sure it doesn't happen again.

[Phil]

OK. Board javascripts have been completely reuploaded from a fresh download. Please advise if you still get any virus warnings, and the details of any such warnings. Thanks.

[Flagstaffsooner]

Thanks Phil.

[SoonerLB]

My blocking software pegs this one everytime I click anywhere on this site:

Illredir-S [Trj]

This has been going on for two days now.



Thanks Phil! My Avast caught the one mentioned above a few days ago, and I had not been here since, hoping it would be corrected, and no problem today.

[Phil]

Good. Rest assured, there will be further action on this issue to keep us from having to mess with this again in the future.

[Salt City Sooner]

Looks like it's working, at least in my case. I've been here a couple of times now today & have yet to get hit.

[unbiasedtruth]

This is what my antivirus software returned and it said the site is unsafe on Saturday.

generic dropper.gt (trojan)

Signed on from home again just now and no warnings.

Thanks Phil.

[gaylordfan1]

yeah, I didn't get any warnings at work when I logged on last night... and those computers nail everything.

[Boomer.....]

Thanks Phil!

[Jacie]

I am another satisfied customer! Thanks for redding the site of the trojan.

And for those of you who did not get a hit from your software when you clicked onto this site, you really ought to look into getting a new virus detection program.

This is a clear cut case of what you don't know can hurt you.

[DakotaSooner]

I had the flu on Monday if that counts.....

[Crucifax Autumn]

I haven't had a virus or trojan in a couple of years, thankfully. And I run IE on a pc running Vista and use pdf files and flash regularly and download illegal games, music, apps, and porn on an almost constant basis.. Apparently I'm a lucky SOB.*


That or my AV is working perfectly in conjunction with being sensible about my illegal and immoral activities.
